Service providers (e.g., wireless, cellular, etc.) and device manufacturers are continually challenged to deliver value and convenience to consumers by, for example, providing compelling network services. One area of interest has been the development of services and technologies for presenting mapping services. Often, these mapping services are provided using a server-client model to remotely offer the mapping services. However, retrieving map content from a remote provider entails incurring resource costs and introducing access latency. Accordingly, service providers and device manufacturers are challenged to develop new mechanisms for quickly and efficiently providing the map content.
